- The Apostle Peter, being an ignorant, illiterate and simple, ordinary man, as admitted and confirmed unequivocally by the Bible itself, has allegedly written Epistles in academic level of Greek language, whose native language by birth being Aramaic, addressing fellow jews, who also were illiterate and ignorant, and whose mother tongue was also Aramaic only, and who only spoke (not being able to read and/or write) Aramaic and nothing else.
When people spend their lives trying to debunk fact, they always mire 2:33 themselves in nonsense. Christ was real. His disciples were real. First century Christianity is real, it's the true faith.
Take the Dunning Krueger effect, and apply it to yourself.
Luke was a doctor, Paul was highly educated …., if you read Greek you know the answer to this nonsense. This guy is uneducated.
There were no school? The only thing ignorant here is your complete lack of historical knowledge of the Levant. The entire area had been Helenized by the Greeks by Alexander the Great & then the Selucids. It was common for Greek to be a bilingual for use in this area. Scholars supports this. You have an open animosity towards Christianity. Dr. Kenneth Harl of Tulane University believes the Gospels are genuine. Among countless other academic scholars. Try again. Because this approach is already been disproven for decades. The whole area had been Helenized for over 200 years! Duh!
Yet most of these scholars also claim that the Jews in the Levant successfully resisted Hellenization.
Dear God I hope you are not a lecturer. The last student left a while ago, get to the point!!!!!!!
Note 2. Peter 1.16....21.
Friend, please do more homework if this matter is troubling you. You have made the same error today that Jesus’ critics made in his day. Jesus’ critics perceived by his Galilean dialect and accent that he was an ignorant bumpkin. The same crowd did the same to several of Jesus’ disciples because they were from the same region. People in America make a similar mistake with regional speakers. Second, what you have read from Peter was likely written by Silvanus acting as Peter’s amanuensis. See 1 Peter 5:12. Paul was formally educated extensively and used an amanuensis. See Romans 16:22 and 2 Thes 3:17. This reasonably explains how someone without education in a foreign language could communicate in that language, particularly in writing. Third, Peter was called to proclaim as a witness the words and works of Jesus through oration- preaching. People can speak and reason even if unlettered. Fourth, koine Greek was the lingua franca throughout the Mediterranean world after Alexander the Great’s times until well into the Second Century A.D. and beyond. The Romans conquered this region and utilized common speech among diverse people groups throughout the empire. Fifth, Acts 2 narrates the giving of the gift of the Holy Spirit to Jesus’ disciples in Jerusalem and beyond. The sign of the Holy Spirit’s coming was a linguistic sign. This sign was the enabling of Jesus’ early followers to proclaim the Good News of Jesus the Messiah in languages unlearned by those speaking them. Most importantly about this sign was that salvation came to those who could not speak Hebrew- the temple and synagogue tongue of the Jewish people of the time. The worship of God was no longer going to be limited to Jerusalem and Palestine but was for the whole world regardless of nationality, ethnicity, race or sex. See Gospel of John 4:19-26. Sixth, in case we use a false metric of credibility as to who has the credentials to proclaim and witness the grace of God manifest in the Son of God, the Apostle Paul declares that God shames men when necessary to humble them that they may be open to truth. God does this by bringing the truth through those the supposedly wise and powerful typically scorn and reject. See 1 Corinthians 1:26-31. Finally, factually you are in error about education among the Jewish people of the day as both Jews and as subjects of the Roman Empire. See Gospel of Luke 4:16-21. As to why the writers of the New Testament would write in Greek, they were given a mission to proclaim the gospel beyond Palestine but to peoples and regions beyond. See Gospel of Matthew 28:18-20. I hope the above is helpful.
